FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
On May 23, 2025, at approximately 4:48 p.m., LVMPD Communications received a report of a male shot inside of a business in the 1200 block of East Charleston Boulevard. Patrol Officers responded to the business and located a male suffering from an apparent gunshot wound. Medical personnel arrived and pronounced the victim deceased at the scene.
Additional officers arrived in the area and located the suspect, later identified as 36-year-old Kyle Capucci. Capucci was safely taken into custody without incident.
The LVMPD homicide section was notified and responded to the scene. Through the course of the investigation, detectives learned that the victim entered the business open carrying a firearm. While he was in line to pay for items, Capucci entered the business acting erratic. After a short interaction with an employee, Capucci lunged for the firearm on the victim’s waist and a struggle ensued. Capucci was eventually able to get the gun away from the victim before shooting him. He then fled the business, leaving the firearm behind.
Capucci was arrested and booked into the Clark County Detention Center for Open Murder with a Deadly Weapon.
The identification of the victim, as well as the cause and manner of death, can be obtained through the Clark County Coroner’s Office.
